About Cottonwood Ranch And Kennel

What they offer

Cottonwood Ranch & Kennel is a family-owned ranch and kennel near Crawford, at the foothills of the West Elk Mountains. It offers dog boarding and a residential dog training program that runs from basic obedience to finely tuned retriever gundog training, with the dog staying at the kennel while it trains. The site recommends a 30-day minimum and includes owner instruction at pick-up time.

Boarding and transport

The kennel has 25 indoor/outdoor runs located close to the family residence. It also runs a weekly Tuesday pick-up and delivery service to the Roaring Fork Valley, with drop-off and pick-up at a business in Basalt on Highway 82.

How they train

The site describes the training as positive reinforcement from a trainer who has spent a lifetime learning how dogs think.
